I like this on Broadway. Not sure about the Holgate area, but I don't really have knowledge of that area, so I can't say that it's good or bad.

I don't like the political debate of cars vs bikes that this has spawned, but that goes with anything these days...

I don't like the political aspects of biking either, Marty. For regular bikers all cars should be eliminated, and they're pretty aggressive about it. Not much effort shown by them to understand that all the rest of us need cars for work and just about everything else. But Portland's a bikers city and PSU in downtown Portland has to get along with them. In the meantime, we could use another parking garage. 65% of the students are still commuters.
